Intelligent Design. There has never been a conscious being that thought the gods did not look like him. Why would a conscious being consciously place himself in an inferior position? Religion must fill a void, the void is the questions of where are we, why are we here, and a few dominant ones must prevail…… Continue reading Intelligent Design

Star Wars
I just saw the new Star Wars move “Revenge of the Sith” last night. As it plays in the theaters in the USA it’s already out on DVD in Vietnam. The movie was excellent and some of the lines really stuck in my mind. It appears George Lucas is paralleling the political environment of our…… Continue reading Star Wars
Saigon Stories – Thoughts of the day – Communism and Capitalism
When I was a kid, there were times when explanations were given that just didn’t make much sense. At that time I simply thought I was not smart enough to understand. However, as I have gotten older and traveled, I’ve found that many adults have an answer but really do not have a good understanding…… Continue reading Saigon Stories – Thoughts of the day – Communism and Capitalism

I cannot know without being shown or taught. Until…… Continue reading We are too arrogant
